“We launched the PAI Media Network, consisting of digital advertising screens that are physically mounted to the top of our national network of ATMs.” These screens give local and national advertisers the ability to reach targeted consumers.

What trends do you see developing in your industry?

Leehy cited “the emergence of smartphones as a way to make payment at the point of sale and to withdraw cash” without cards at enabled ATMs. “While this transformation won’t take place overnight, consumer preference is strong, and adoption rates will be more aggressive than most would forecast.

What advice do you have for other companies in a fast-growth mode?

“Fight the ‘noise’ and all the distractions that come as companions to growth. …Success can lull you to sleep and trick you into believing you have it all figured out. Stay sharp. Be discontent with where you’re at. Insist on finding a new and stronger version of who you are as a company.”
